    Finally got most of the stuff I felt I need to start casting my own bullets. Made my first small run tonight. Didn't even get half way though my 10lbs lead pot and have close to 100 or so .225 dia 55gr bullets. Just gotta do a quick sorting after they dry then they get powder coated ,gas checked and sized. Hopefully I can get good at this because if my calculations are right I can get about 127 55grain bullets per pound of lead,would really be a money saver at least for plinking ammo Anyhow just figured I'd share, I'll let y'all know if they shoot well or if I end up wasting a few pounds

    the 5xx series are all old stock,most being produced from the 40's to the late 50's early 60's if remember right alot of them end up being sold for next to nothing when someones grand parents die because they don't know anything about the rifles.

    So got out today and tried to do a good amo test. Used my BOG tripod with a deflated sand sock for a front rest and a regular sand sock as a rear. Barely had to move it to get on target. 27.5yards 10rounds targets where traced off if dimes and colored with a red sharpie. Just finished editing the video and should be up in the next few days

    3:16p.m actually about to head to work lol, yeah y'all are like 7hours ahead

    Yeah in that case it could have just been local law wanting to run the numbers to makes sure they where actually theirs and not looted

    O katrina was such a cluster it's rediclous. Lots and lots of factors went into it. Honestly alot of the problems where people who where looting and stealing stuff they didn't need. TV's jewelry what not. And the government can only do so much hence why so much falls back on the individual. Theirs something called the cajun navy that's a good example. Anytime these big storms hit literal thousands of people come from across the state and country with personal boats, helicopters, airboats jet skies , swamp buggies you name it and they do search and rescue help national guard ,feed people and

    Get enough people to become sheep you'd be amazed what can happen. Talked to so aussies and people from california and they said they felt the same and look at them now. you don't cut down a tree in just one hit. Lots of smaller cuts here and there.....

    Ummm I live like 3hours from New Orleans and end up getting alot of the after effects of those storms but anyhow the state of Louisiana disarming citizens, yeah I've never heard of that happening nor do I think it would. California yeah but Louisiana, mississippi, texas and other southern states ,unless it's at an extremely local level on a case by case basis it's not gonna happen . That had to have been some local law enforcement knew about and found them unsafe or something. The southern states disarming citizens isn't gonna happen for a few reasons one mainly being people will not com

    It's an election year man happens like clock work. Not to mention the biden has said his administration with try to ban all online gun,ammo,and parts sales, band on various rifles and hand gun types,ammo type bans ,yadda yadda yadda, so everyone if loosing their minds buying up any and every thing they can. Lots of crooks will by what ever they think will be in high demand so they can sell it at a mark up at gun shows and such. Then doesn't help the generally ignorant public will buy it at the mark up. Lost o liberals are wanting firearms too and they are completely cluess so people are makin

    Don't think you understand I can't really even find regular ammo on the shelves right now lol, much less target grade .22lr. even online it's pretty scarce , gonna probably be October before stuff simmers down to where I can get some target ammo. Till then it's getting fed what I can find lol

    Little video of the first shots and some plinking
  14. Wolfdog91
    Got video of a chipmunk getting caught in a cage trap I've been tinkering with ,learning I gotta configure the triggers a bit different for the rats though

    You know I've heard this a few times from guys over there. I'm honestly not sure why but seem these old guns shoot just about everything good enough for for hunting within 20-30yd. Actually have a old savage that was scoped and it won't shoot any of the real Gucci ammo worth anything. Tried a few boxes of Elley and some nicer american options ,can't remember what exactly it's been a while but wouldn't shoot them well at all. It will stack $20 for 500 bulk in one hole at 30yd all day though. Idk mabye it's just these two guns. But again most of what I do now days is plinking shot gun shells , s

    O I have no real interest in parting it out or anything. Have been looking for a role like this for the collection for a while. Honestly would have preferred if it was kinda beat up so id have an excuse to mess with it a little but since it's in good condition I'm happy with it lol. As far as the other ammo, I reckon it might fair better group wise ,and if I had competitions and what not to shoot it in then yes I would consider getting some of the better stuff but right now I'm m more than happy with what's it's doing with the cheap stuff. $180 for a brick of lapua or $20 for 50rd

    Brought it out to the range with me in my weekly brass clean up today and did some testing with some ammo I have . Distance was 25.5 yards. 10 rounds each group. Just shooting off a sand sock. The sight is actually bottomed out on the evevation so can't zero it the way I'd prefer. Usually I like the to have the center of the target in the very top of my front sight but with this I'm more aiming towards the bottom. Not the hardest thing to do but not the most precise. Good enough to plink shot she'll hulls at 35 and smack a 5" going at 50-75 so can't complain to much lol. Seems to pr

    To be honest it may,not the best at judging lol,I'll try to use my fish scale to see later
  19. Wolfdog91
    Actually a tad bit of creep which I'm pretty see to but other than that extremely crisp and and say like 2.5 -3lbs pull

    Got's a sweet shooter. Just off a sand sock on the front porch with some cheap bulk federal copper plated hollow points. About 15yd once I got it sighted And around 30, need some more practice imo ?

    Merry Christmas from the State's ?

    Ok swear I need to stay outta pawn shops lol. Said I was just gonna pop in real quick and get some cheap 7.62x39 to squirrel away but noticed this old .22lr on the self. And of course the nice lady behind the counter asked if I was interested and got it in my hands. Now I'm starting to have a real liking to these older rifles and since this was a obvious target model I had to have it for the collection lol. Happened to have a tube fed savage .22lr that would never feed right and a crosman break barrel in the car so after a little horse trading managed to get $120 in store
  23. Wolfdog91
    I figured there would be a few lol ?

    Been playing around with the rats in the shed again and got curious as to what was going on. The bait looked untouched for the last few days the camera was on and I was thinking I had taken care of them or try where just scared if the trap but the camera told a different story. Gotta say these little $28 cams are a real blessing when it come to learning if you stuff really works the way you think. Ends up rats, chipmunks,and even birds have regularly been eating on the bait climbing in and out of the box, just not triggering the trap Have also learned a lot doing this with hogs ,fo
